TAM6 - what do you look like?

LostAngeles said:
Gee, I dunno. Have you slain the five wicked dragons and retrieved the Lost Pendants of Ascydorina in order to free the souls of the Unicorns of the Earth so that I can retake my fairy kingdom from the evil wizard? Cause I don't think you have.

There were lost pendants!?? Hey, I was just having fun slaying dragons. If I'd known there were lost pendants...

ETA: Y'know, I just went and looked in the mirror and hey! I'm still a short little human mutt with a funny nose bump and Cthulhu curls. Clearly a fairy kingdom's worth of riches and hot fairy ass isn't enough reward these days!

Pfft, at least you are not a short little human mutt with glasses and a boudin hanging out of your face.

Me and family on Mother's Day. I am far left. Post any untoward comments about my fifteen year old sister and you will meet a swift end ;).


She looks like she's very good at being a fifteen year old. Too old for all that Disney stuff, I hope. You look as if you have a rather nice family. Reminds me of my own in some ways. I see my family as a bit more "Addams".

You would have pawned them just like the Magical Orb of Teyngyur

Contact lenses. I don't wear glasses, I just stick old Coke bottles over my eyes.
 
I've reached 15 posts, so (insert drumroll) here's me:

I'll see you in a few weeks! (The little one is Lucy Fur, I was just dogsitting)

I guess I shold post this.

My expression doesn't work.

To clear up some of the commoner misconceptions:

* If my eyes seem like blue lasers drilling into your soul, that means that I've forgotten who you are.

* If I have a smug, self-satisfied grin on my face, that means that I've just realised that you're right and I'm wrong.

* If I look like I've just decided to kill myself, that means that it's within two hours of my bedtime.

* If I have a deep angry scowl on my face, with a furrowed brow and my eyebrows twisted into strange shapes, that means that I am blissfully happy.

* If the corners of my mouth are turned down, that means that I am amused.

Thank you.
 
I've just realised I hadn't responded to the original question on this thread... so, this is me:

I'm the one wearing glasses.
 
Cats never make passes at men who wear glasses

At least that's what Dorothy Parker said...

or something like that.

I must say we have an attractive gaggle of skeptics here.

BTW, I am like Dr. A. Do not try to translate what is going on in my head from my face. Apparently I am communicating assorted facial expressions all the time that people frequently misinterpret. I'm Italian... I have deep thoughts going on in my head... or so I like to think... I apparently broadcast my thoughts across my face and in my hand gestures... or even (embarrassingly) I apparently talk out loud when I'm doing things like writing on this forum... people will think I'm talking to them or that "something is wrong" when I'm really just in my own head having conversations with people who are not there... or thinking of conversations past or what I want to say or something else that's grabbed my mind.

I think of myself as being rational and poker faced.... this impression I have of myself does not translate and people are forever taking expressions that flit across my face as reactions to them or something they should be aware of.

I was told at my high school reunion that certain people thought I was a snob because they'd always say "hi", and I'd ignore them. I swear, I didn't think or know anyone was saying "hi" to me regularly in high school. I think I must project a snobby persona-- but it's probably more "mad scientist" persona or "absent minded professor" persona or something. I don't think I come across this way at TAM... because I feel like I fit in great-- but, I could be offending people left and right for all I know.

No one ever thought I was a snob in school, I was too weird to every be a snob. But I did hear that I ignored people a lot, they would talk to me and I would never hear them. I also startle easy, I think it is because I am just so involved in what I'm thinking about I am not paying attention to surroundings. I would make an horrible witness.

Articulett just wanted you to know that I love reading your posts, love your avatar, and has always been a little afraid of you. I never want to be on the bad side of your silver tongue. I look forward to meeting you at TAM6 I probably won't say much (cause as I said am a bit afraid of you) but you look like a friendly person from your photo. But what do I know, I was voted most strange (actually we didn't have that category, but if we did I would have won).

If you are who I think you are, I wasn't offended--but a bit taken aback because you were anything but snobby and proceeded (IMHO and memory has faded in the past 18 months) to talk my right leg off, and make a good start on the left before I excused myself (I AM shy, and this verbal bombardment, while not unwelcome, was a bit unnerving....and the person I had talked to immediately preceeding you was Dr. Buzzo :eek:

I'll try to be more engaging this time if you promise to be a wee bit less excited...;)
 
I know I can be a bit "scary"... but I don't feel like I ever start it. I'm a small person, and I think I've cultivated a "big bark" for protection. Or maybe just for fun, I don't know. I just feel so excited that it's hard to contain my forked tongue when people start hurling out criticisms of others that, to me, seems so much better suited for them.

My irony meters start buzzing and I my claws come out--I feel invited into a battle that I know I can "win". I feel like this monkey:



But I adore people who like me. Who doesn't? And I'm a sucker for those who fake it good too. And I really do feel bad if I accidentally hurt someone's feelings. At Tam I feel like a groupie of all the people there. I figure I will just force myself on people and pretend to fit in whether I do or not because I just have so much fun. I'm slow to warm up, but I like everyone who likes me. And I don't seem to even notice the ones who don't. (I hope my pic allows those who don't like me to avoid me.)

I think I come across as much less ferocious in person. I feel a little safer "expressing myself" with the shield of cyber space between me and those whom I might offend.) I don't think I've actually hurt anyone or that anyone is afraid of me in real life. (I sometimes get a little too zealous in my woo baiting on line because it's sort of a stress relief... and I fee the people here have "invited" my opinion by sharing theirs --plus they can always put me on ignore.) But I don't want people to be scared of me. When you read me being acid tongued-- just think of that monkey... because in my head, that's all it is.



In real life, I don't "inflict" my opinion on others. And you could, no doubt, kick my ass. :)

don't be afraid of me. I'm just that goofy monkey in my head when I'm on line-- riling up blowhards for my own amusement sometimes.

Yeah, that was me.

It's been 18 months, and I'm supposed to be less excited?? Do you have sedatives?
